Local Sports Hall adds five more
Kevin Wuzzardo
There are five new members of the Greater Wilmington Sports Hall of Fame. They include three men who became local coaching legends. One man who became part of major league baseball history. And a woman who blazed a trail for others.
All it takes is a trip to UNCW's baseball stadium to see the impact Bill Brooks made on campus. After all, the ballpark bears his name. As does the Colonial Athletic Association's baseball Player of the Year Award. Brooks led Seahawks sports into the CAA and NCAA after coaching the baseball team to National Junior College Championships in 1961 and 1963. In 1990, he was inducted into the National Junior College Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame and the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in 1993.
Jap Davis was a member of Wallace Wade's "Iron Dukes" that played in the 1939 Rose Bowl. He passed on a chance in the NFL to go into coaching. After serving in World War II, he came to New Hanover High in 1946, assisting his old high school coach Leon Brogden. He later coached the Cats football, wrestling, tennis and golf teams. The school named its field house after him in 1997.
Davis, Brooks and Brogden all coached a young man named Jack Holley over the years. He played on championship football, baseball and basketball teams at New Hanover High in the 1950s. But he's perhaps best known for his state record 380 wins in 44 years on the high school gridiron, currently at Wallace-Rose Hill.
Tommy Greene played baseball at Whiteville High School and eventually made it to the Major Leagues. He was a throw-in in the deal that sent Braves legend Dale Murphy to Philadelphia in 1990. A season later he proved his worth, when he no-hit the Montreal Expos on May 23, 1991. He also helped lead the Phillies to the 1993 World Series, starting the year 8-0 with five straight complete games.
The late Althea Gibson not only made her mark on the sports world, but the world in general. She came to Wilmington in 1946 to work on her tennis game. She went on to be the first African-American to win titles at Wimbledon, the French Open, the Australian Doubles and the US Open. In 1957, she was the first black to be voted Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year. She won it again in 1958. She also played professional golf. Nearly four years after her death, the Althea Gibson Foundation continues her legacy helping urban youth develop their skills in tennis and golf.
All the living members of the new class are scheduled to be at the induction ceremony on Sunday, May 6.

Professor Liebmann presented his upcoming article on Collateral Advocacy for Immigrant Youth and Families. The article argues that while most discourse on the intersection of immigration law with other legal arenas focuses on collateral consequences, a complementary discourse on collateral opportunities should also be taking place. The article describes under what circumstances ethical mandates compel such "collateral advocacy," and applies the analysis to family court representation of survivors of familial abuse, neglect and abandonment.

Current: PlayStation Plus August free games predictions and rumors
PlayStation Plus August free games predictions and rumors
Simon Sayers / July 20, 2017
Following a rather impressive PS Plus July line-up of free games, which included Until Dawn and Game of Thrones, our attention has switched to the upcoming PlayStation Plus August games.
Japan set the bar incredible high this month with the likes of Killzone: ShadowFall and Child of Light, while Sony Asia dropped a surprise on their PS4 players with an extra game on top of Just Cause 3 and Killing Floor 2. But, what does Sony have in store for the PSN games for August?
Here's our predictions:
The single player adventure game from indie developer Infinite Fall was only released in February this year and the reception as extremely positive. Praised for its story and characters, Night in the Woods is a narrative-driven game that sees you in control of a cat as you explore Possum Springs interacting with colorful characters and making decisions which can affect the storyline.
The bullet-hell roguelike game from Dodge Roll and Devolver Digital was released back in April 2016 and bears some similarity to the brilliant The Binding of Isaac. Choose between four main characters with special abilities and enter procedurally-generated rooms to defeat enemies. There's also a very welcome co-op mode so your friends can join in.
Killzone: ShadowFall
The Killzone debut title for PS4 is surely a prime contender for PlayStation Plus at some point, and now that Sony Japan has given it away for free, we're sure it's on its way to North America and Europe. Guerrilla Games sci-fi themed first-person shooter is now over four years old, but its PS4 Pro boost mode patch makes it look and perform better than ever.
The Escapists
Mouldy Toof Studios The Escapists is another indie game that is regarded highly. The top-down strategy game was released in 2015 and requires players to escape from prison using a various of mechanics, such as crafting, levelling up characters and even inciting riots.
In order to qualify for free PS4, PS3 and Vita games each month, you'll need a PlayStation Plus subscription, which also gives you access to online multiplayer and other decent discounts on the Store every month.
So, that's our four main predictions for PlayStation Plus August. Do you agree? Do you have your own predictions or wish-list? Let us know in the comments below.

For this kind of factory have advanced equipment and mature technology, there will have little waste material, then the cost can be reduced. Take all these into consideration, if you have purchase plan, firstly find a trusted aluminum sheet supplier, then just wait for the reduce of aluminum sheet price.

Svensk Livland var en svensk besiddelse i Baltikum under stormagtstiden. Området, som udgjorde hoveddelen af det forudgående polsk Livland, erobredes 1621, og Sverige fik formelt ret til det ved våbenstilstanden i Altmark 1629. Sverige afstod Livland til Rusland 1721 ved freden i Nystad, men havde reelt mistet området allerede 1710.

Svensk Livland var mod nord afgrænset af Svensk Estland (som tillige omfattede øen Dagö), mod øst til Rusland og mod syd til de daværende polske provinser Kurland og Polsk Livland.

De største stæder i Svensk Livland var Riga og Dorpat (Tartu).

Historie

År 1621 blev Riga erobret af Gustaf 2. Adolf under Anden polske krig (1600-1629), og ved våbenstilstanden i Altmark 1629 fik Sverige kontrol over hele det daværende Livland bortset fra den sydøstre del, (Letgallen). For Sverige var dette en meget vigtig erobring, for Livland kom derefter til at finansiere en tredjedel af det yderst store svenske krigsbudget. Riga var en betydningsfuld og rig handelsstad, den næststørste i den svenske stormagt efter Stockholm. Handelen der blev mestendels drevet af tyskere og hollændere.

Sverige satsede stort på at indlemme Livland i sit stormagtsrige: Allerede det første år (1629) dannedes et generalguvernement med Livland og Ingermanland, og den livlandske landdag genoprettedes. År 1630 indrettedes Livlands højesta domstol; hovrätten i Dorpat, 1632 grundlagdes Dorpats universitet, 1634 indrettedes en landmålerinstitution som gennemførte omfattende landmålinger og karteringer 1683 og 1693, og 1637 åbnedes en national bank.

År 1641 ejedes 40% af jordbrugslandet af småbrugere, fra at tidligere helt være domineret af de gamle tyske adelsslægter fra den Tyske ordens tid. Flere reformer gennemførtes til fordel for den jævne befolkning. Livegenskabet afskaffedes 1661, og bønderne fik direkte klageret til kongen. År 1687 besluttede den livlandske landdag at indrette byskoler for den ikke-tyske del af befolkningen, og en bibeloversættelse til lettisk blev færdiggjort 1690.

Årene 1656-1658 led Livland hårdt under Karl 10. Gustavs russiske krig. Blandt andet ødelagdes Dorpats universitet.

Lige som i moderlandet Sverige gennemførtes 1680-1686 Karl 11.s reduktioner, som indebar, at adelen mistede mange privilegier. Dette stødte naturligvis på stærk modstand i den livlandske landdag, hvilket førte til, at generalguvernøren lukkede landdagen 1693 og at lederen af den livlandske modstand, Johann Patkul, året derpå dømtes til døden. Patkul havde dog held til at flygte og var med til at arbejde for det Danmarks, Polens og Ruslands anfaldsforbund mod Sverige, som 1700 startede den Store nordiske krig – den krig, som kom at indebære slutningen på Sveriges stormagtstid.

Livland besattes af Rusland 1710 og blev formelt afstået 1721 ved freden i Nystad. Også denne krig ramte Livlands civile befolkning hårdt, således var befolkningen i Dorpat nede i blot 21 personer efter, at russerne havde erobret staden 1704.

Forvaltning og embedsvæsen

Adelens stilling

Under det svenske herredømme var Livland en under Sveriges krone lydende, i særegne former administreret provins, hvis statsretslige stilling dog gav anledning til tvister mellem konge og landstænder. Både Karl 11. og Gustaf 2. Adolf forsøgte at förmå de sidstnævnte at sende ombud til den svenske riksdagen, men livlændingene hævdede principielt sin særstilling, og i 1634 års regeringsform begrænsedes repræsentationspligten til Sveriges og Finlands gamle område. Livlændingenes krav på bekræftelse af landsprivilegierne af 1561 blev ikke opfyldt af Gustaf Adolf, som dog i 1629 imødekom dem med en almen og provisorisk forsikring om privilegiernes faktiske beståen, hvilken bekræftedes af senere svenske regenter indtil enevældens indførelse, sidst af Karl 11. i 1678. På dronning Kristinas tid havde adelen under Otto von Mengdens ledelse held til at organisere sin magtstilling i nye institutioner; på landdagene, hvilkes virksomhed reguleredes i landdagsordningen af 1647, valgte den sålunda en hauptmann og fra 1643 et landtråd, som, stillet ved generalguvernørens side, skulle overvåge dets intresser. Noget senere, fra 1660, begyndte den at tilstræbe en umiddelbar andel i den svenske statsmagts udøvelse og ansøgte nu om sin inkorporering i riksdag og riddarhus, men dette krav mødte vanskeligheder, og det indbrydende enevældets svenske stænder kunne udstrække reduktionen til Livlands adel uden dennes forudgående høring. De følgende protester blev ganske tilsidesatte, og i generalguvernøren grev Hastfer fandt kongen en energisk og hårdhændet medhjælper, mens adelsoppositionen i Patkul fik sin lidelsefuldeste advokat. Konflikten udvidedes fra 1690 til spørgsmålet om privilegiernes retskraft og eventuelle kodifiering, men løstes radikalt af enevoldsmonarken ved forfatningerne af 1694, som fuldstændigt sønderbrød det økonomisk allerede lamslåede adelsregemente i Livland. Den strenge linje, som samtidig indledtes mod oppositionens ledere, foranledigede yderligere forbitrelse, og denne tog sig udtryk blandt andet i Patkuls landsforræderiske intriger.

De vigtigeste af adelens rettigheder var uindskrænket myndighed over bønderne (både Gustaf 2. Adolf og Karl 11. fandt sig foranledigede til at tage bønderne under retslig beskyttelse mod adelens alt forgodtbefindende behandling) samt indehavelsen af lensgodserne efter länsrätten (lensretten). I henhold til denne var länsgodsens indehavere såvel som allodialgodsernes ejere (af dem var der dog kun få) frie fra andre ordinære skatter, men skulle udføre rusttjeneste, nemlig for hver femtende "haker" (en slags jordbeskatningsenheder) 1 ryttere og, årligt, 60 rigsdaler species. Adelens bønder måtte dog fra 1634 erlægge "stationen", en oprindeligt tilfældig, siden ordinær skat. Men Livlands adel var på sin side ikke så nøjeregnende med hvorledes, den kom i besiddelse af länsgods eller tidligere stifts- og ordensgods. Allerede de polske konger, siden tillige Gustaf 2. Adolf, befalede undersøgelser deraf, men disse blev ikke afsluttede. Livlændingene benægtede aldrig, at de forhenværende landsherrers godser rettelig tilhørte den svenske krone. Men da disse krongodser blev solgt, pantede eller bortgivne i strid mod Sveriges love og riksdagsbeslutninger – forlening af livlandske godser på Norrköpings besluts vilkår var en yderst vanlig foreteelse – blev en reduktion stadigt mere nødvendig. Dennes virkninger blev i Livland omstyrtende, i særdeleshed som de nys nævnte, af de polske konger og Gustaf 2. Adolf påbegyndte undersøgelser efterlod feltet åbent for vidt gående fordringer. Reduktionen gjorde kronen til indehaver af 5/6 af Livlands jord. At den i grunden var ubilligere i Livland end i Sverige turde dog være for meget sagt.

Sine rettigheder og interesser bevogtede adelen på landtdagene. Enligt 1647 års landtdagsordning skulle alle adelige godsindehavere indfinde sig ved dem. Landtmarskalken udnævntes af Livlands generalgouvernør efter et af adelen fremsat forslag. Som genstande for forhandlinger var regeringens forslag og adelens svar. Omröstningen (afstemningen) skete kredsvis. 1694 ophævedes den gamle landtdagsordning ligesom landtrådsinstitutionen, og det bestemtes, at landtdagen skulle sammentræde ikke hvert år, som det hidtil havde været tilfældet, men alene når kongen fandt det for godt. En af generalguvernøren udnævnt "hauptmann" skulle føre "direktionen", men under generalguvernörens "præsidium". Kollektive beklagelser på landtdagene blev forbudte; den misfornøjede henvistes til generalguvernøren og kongen.

Stædernes forvaltning

Stæderna havde egne privilegier og vidstrakt selvstyre, hvilken dog indskrænkedes af Karl 11. Kun Riga sendte ombud til landtdagen. Rigas vigtigste pålagte betalingspligt var 100.000 polske gylden, som skulle erlægges ved hver svensk konges kroning.

Generalguvernøren

Livlands forvaltning som svensk besiddelse ordnedes 1629, da Johan Skytte var generalguvernør over Livland, Ingermanland og Karelen. Han havde under sig guvernörer (guvernører) og ståthållare (statholdere). 1642 var Livlands fastland et eget generalguvernement, til hvilket efter Kristinas død i 1689 også Ösel (Saaremaa) i militær henseende henlagdes. Generalguvernøren, som altid var et af rigets råd, og som til 1642 residerede i Dorpat (Tartu), derefter i Riga, stod i spidsen for Livlands hele styrelse og forvaltning. Dømmende myndighed havde han ikke, men skulle overvåge domstolene og dommernes domsvirksomhed. Hans kancelli bestod fra starten, foruden af lavere tjenestemænd, af en svensk og en tysk sekretær. Under dronning Kristina tilkom en oversekretær, som tillige ofte tillige var tysk sekretær, altid assistensråd. Ved siden af generalguvernøren og guvernøren havde dette assistensråd til opgave at behandle de administrative anliggender. I 1687 ophævedes dette embede, og i dets sted tilsattes en statssekretær, hvis titel dog snart nedrangeredes til generalguvernementssekretær. De kamerale gøremål forvaltedes, foruden af lavere embedsmænd, af en kamrerare, men 1651 tilsattes tillige for dem et assistensråd. I 1687 kom i dettes sted en statskommissarie, hvis anliggender dog snart overflyttedes på en overkamrerare. Denne sidstnævnte havde ved siden af generalguvernøren at opgøre provinsens stat, modtage, forvalte og udbetale kronens midler samt nærvære ved mønstringerne.

Samtidig med generalguvernementssekretæren tilsattes en generalguvernementskamrerer. Den sidste generalguvernør, Erik Dahlbergh, havde 15.000 daler smt i løn. Generalguvernørens nærmeste mand var guvernøren i Riga, hvilken altid var en general. På Øsel og i Dorpat fandtes "landshøvdinge" (svensk: landshöfding) samt i Riga en særskilt statholder. Den sidstnævnte og landshøvding i Dorpat blev i 1690 "ekonomiståthållare", den ene for det lettiske, den anden for det estiske Livland, med ansvaret at have oversyn over de kongelige domæner samt under kontrol af generalguvernøren og Kammerkollegium opgøre vilkårene for "kronoarrendena" (kronens fæstebønder). En kataster (mantalslægd) for Livland oprettedes ved en i årene 1638-1641 virkende kommission, som bestemte, at hver "gesinde" (bondegård), som gjorde 12 dagsværk om ugen, skulle regnes for en "hake". Derigennem blev antallet af "haker" i hele Livland 4.343. I sammenhæng med reduktionen opgjordes 1683-1690 en ny kataster, og til grund for denne lagdes jordens godhed, hvilken beregnedes efter 4 skattegrader. De bondegårde – länderier under ridderskabets eget brug var skattefrie -, hvilkes samtlige årlige utskylder (betalinger af skatter med mere) den kongelige taxeringskommission havde beregnet til 60 rigsdaler sp., skulle anses for en "hake". Gennem denne kataster blev bøndernes betalingsbyrder nøje fastsatte og en tøjle lagt på godsejernes prejerier. Haketallet voksede gennem denne til 6.236. Den svenske stats indkomster af Livland udgjorde i slutningen af 1600-tallet årligt omkring 900.000 daler smt, hvoraf krondomæner betalte 375.000. Till Livlands forvaltning og forsvarsvæsen gik omkring 500.000 daler smt. Resten var hovedsagelig reserveret til lønninger for de kongelige råder og Sveriges udenlandske beskickningar (udstationerede) samt til flådens behov.

Forsvaret

Krigsmagten i Livland, under fredstid opgående til 5.000-6.000 mand, stod under generalguvernörens overbefal. Denne og guvernören havde under Karl 11.s regering hver sit hvervede regiment på 1.000 mand, hvilke sammen med 3 bataljoner af de finske inddelte regimenter udgjorde garnisonerne i Riga, Dünamünde, Kobron og Kokenhusen. På Dorpats og Pernaus fæstninger var et hvervet infanteriregiment fordelt. 200-300 mand artilleri var forlagte i Livland, og af det 1680 på de 3 Østersøprovinser fordelet Von der Pahlenska kavaleriregement kom 300-400 mand på Livland. Den "livländske" adelsfane regnede 200, den "øselske" 1. "stiftske" 50 mand.

Domstolsforvaltningen

Domstolene var "ordnungsgerichte" for politilformål på landet, 4 "landgerichte" og hovretten i Dorpat, hvorfra man kunne apellere til kongen. Fra Riga stads domstole apelleredes til Svea hofrätt.

Kirkeforvaltningen

Kirkestyrelsen blev organiseret ved indsættelse af en superintendent 1622, og ved konsistorialordningen af 1634 indrettedes i Riga og Dorpat underkonsistorier ved siden af et overkonsistorium i Dorpat, samtlige med såvel åndelige som verdslige ledere. Denne organisation, som modificeredes i 1636 og 1640, forstyrredes af stadiga tvister mellem superintendent og konsistorier. Karl 11. indførte 1686 års svenske kirkolov og fjernede 1694 de adelige bisiddere fra overkonsistoriet samtidig med, at adelens patronatsret ophævedes.

For undervisningsvæsendet sørgedes ved oprettelsen af universitetet i Dorpat (1632) samt indrettelsen af gymnasier og andre skoler. For bøndernes børn organiseredes en slags sogneskoler. Universitetet gik under i russerfejden i 1650-tallet, men det reorganiseredes af Karl 11. i 1690; ved Store nordiske krigs udbrud flyttedes det til Pernau.

Forvaltningsarven

Livlands første hersker på den russiske trone, Peter den Store, ikke blot måtte overholde de vilkår, som staden Riga og ridderskabet betingede sig ved Rigas kapitulation i 1710, nemlig at den evangelsk-lutherske lære samt deres fri- og rettigheder skulle lades uantastede, men bekræftede tillige Sigismund Augusts privilegier, dog med tilføjelsen: "så vidt de lade tillempe sig på for hånden værende herrevælde og tider". Alle følgende russiske regenter bekræftede dem med samme forbehold, og livlændingene betragtede dem som sin grundlov. Peter den Store tillod en tilbagegang i reduktionen samt tilbagevenden til den gamle forfatning og forvaltning, således som denne var inden 1694. Mange indretninger og forfatninger, som Livland fik under den tid, det tilhørte det svenske vælde, bestod helt frem til begyndelsen af 1900-tallet.

Kyrgystan, 1998: Ala Archa, Terskey Ala-Too, Tian-Shan, Khan Tengri
(This banner alternates two pictures. One shows the central area of the Kyrgyz flag: a red field with a yellow sun containing a stylized representation of the tunduk (the top of a Kyrgyz yurt). The other picture shows a statue of Manas, the legendary Kyrgyz hero.)
Return to my mountaineering/trekking/travel webpage
I went to Kyrgyzstan in July 1998, with Kathy Cosley, Mark Houston, and Mike Christianson to trek and climb in the Tian Shan mountains. I first did a small trek alone in Ala Archa National Park, which is close to Kyrgyzstan's capital, Bishkek. Next we went altogether on an acclimatization trek in the Terskey Ala-Too mountains (just south of Karakol and Lake Issyk-kul). Finally we went to the far-East of Kyrgyzstan to climb Khan Tengri (6995m, or 7010m with its glacial cap).
Map of Kyrgyzstan, with the three visited areas marked in yellow. See here for a more recent trip (2011) in the Tersey Ala-Too.
Ala Archa:

Left: nice encounter near the Ratsek refuge. Right: waterfall on the way to the refuge.
Aksay glacier dominated by several high peaks, including Box (4250m), Teketor (4441m), Svobodnaya (4740m), and Korona (4860m).
Terkeu Ala-Too:
Terskey Ala-Too is a subrange of the Tian Shan, with several peaks above 5000m. We trekked for 5 days from Altyn Arashan to Jeti-Oghuz (see map1 and map2) through Ala-Kol pass (3860m), Ala-Kol lake, and Teleti pass (3800m). The scenery is much like in the European Alps, without towns and roads, and with very few hikers (in 1998).

Tian Shan and Khan Tengri:
The Tian Shan (Celestial Mountains) is a 2000-km long and 400-km wide mountain range. About two thirds lie in Kyrgyzstan (the rest lying in Kazakhstan and Xinjiang). The two highest peaks are Peak Pobeda (7439m) and Khan Tengri (6995m, or 7010m with its glacial cap). Khan Tengri (see map below) is located at the border between Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, less than 5 km away from Xinjiang, between the south branch (Kyrgyzstan) and the north branch (Kazakhstan) of the Inylchek glacier. The south branch of the Inylchek glacier is 60-km long.
A truck took us from Karakol to Maidadyr Camp (Russian military camp in 1998) at the base of the Inylchek glacier, west of Khan Tengri. From there, a helicopter of Kyrgyz Airlines flew us to base camp. We arrived at the base camp of Khan Tengri on July 11. We spent 14 days on the mountain, but only got 2 days of excellent weather. We spent 4 days and 4 nights at Camp 3, with almost continuously bad weather. We had to leave without even trying to summit, in order to catch our return flight to the US from Almaty (Kazakhstan). A few hours after our descent, the route was swept by an avalanche that destroyed several tents at Camp 2.
Left: Map showing the location of Khan Tengri between the two branches of the Inylchek glacier. Green dashed line: travel by helicopter. Red dotted line: our climbing route. Blue dots: camp locations. Right: Climbing routes on the South face of Khan Tengri.

View from the helicopter over the south branch of the Inylchek glacier during the flight to base camp. For the entire trip the helicopter was flying low above the glacier.
For safety, the helicopter first landed on a flat area of the Inylchek glacier not far from base camp to unload its passengers. Then it took off to land again at a more precarious spot very close to base camp and unload boxes and bags.
The helicopter taking off to return to Maidadyr Camp. Peak Podeba (7439m), the highest peak in Kyrgyzstan, whose official Kyrgyz name is Jengish Chkusu, is visible on the left of the tail of the helicopter. It is about 15km south of base camp.
Base camp at 4000m on a moraine on the northern side of the south branch of the Inylchek glacier. In 1998, the camp consisted of some tents, a few wood cabins in very bad shape, a kitchen/dining room, and a working sauna, all built when Kyrgyzstan was part of the Soviet Union.

From a literary perspective, this will certainly be the best collection of the year in science fiction and fantasy. Gene Wolfe, of whom The Washington Post said, "Of all SF writers currently active none is held in higher esteem," has selected the short fiction he considers his finest into one volume.
There are many award winners and many that have been selected for various Year's Best anthologies among the thirty-one stories, which include: "Petting Zoo," "The Tree Is My Hat," "The Island of Dr. Death and Other Stories," "The Hero as Werewolf," "Seven American Nights," "The Fifth Head of Cerberus," "The Detective of Dreams," and "A Cabin on the Coast." Gene Wolfe has produced possibly the finest and most significant body of short fiction in the SF and fantasy field in the last fifty years, and is certainly among the greatest living writers to emerge from the genres. This is the first retrospective collection of his entire career.
It is for the ages.


Home » Uncategorized » At Long Last…..TRUMP!!!
I don't believe it…is it possible…could it be?? YES IT IS!! Our prayers have been answered!! The time is here!!…the clown car is firing up!!…TV pundits everywhere know their jobs are secure for the next year and a half because Trump just jumped into the election race and in the first five minutes of his announcement speech, pissed off at least half of his competition and left the other half wondering "What the hell am I doing here"?! Neil Young told him to "F— Off! and not use his songs because he's a Bernie Sanders supporter!
Poor old Jeb Bush is watching his life flash before his eyes because the road ahead looks more like a war zone than a political campaign! So far, Trump has managed to insult him, his wife, her country and heritage and that's just for openers!
Personally, I want to thank Neil Young for stepping in and telling Trump not to use his songs! Believe it or not, Neil and I were raised about 10 miles down the road from each other in Ontario. Both decided to make our living playing music and both decided that the USA was the place to do it. With the exception of the fact that we're equally pretty, comparisons end there and I certainly wouldn't want to compare his bank account to mine!
Getting back to the Trumpster, put yourself in the shoes of Rubio…or Walker…or Rick Perry…or Huckabee or Cruz etc.! I'll bet they're all wondering how they're going to be able to instantly quit bad mouthing Obama and begin bad mouthing Trump! Every one of those guys have to be sitting at home wondering whether or not they should cut their losses or go out to the woodshed and cut off a finger or find some other story like "more time for my family" or any other equally lame excuse!
The other road of course is to throw all caution aside, jump straight into the clownmobile and attempt to slug it out with the Trumpster in a rip roaring brawl that is bound to leave no one unscarred! Meanwhile, President Obama is in the White House sitting back in his big presidential chair saying to himself "Yes…there is a God"!!
One thing is for sure, everyone is going to be watching, and all the TV networks who were panicked about their sagging ratings are now going to be battling (battling?) for the the privilege of showing one or more of these debate episodes. Fox News is probably trying to figure how to hog this melee to themselves while everyone else tries to figure out how to sabotage Fox News and not get caught! Hey…it'll be better than Wide World of Wrestling or old Duck Dynasty reruns and the ratings will be through the roof! None of the present candidates can lie more convincingly than Trump. None of them have been in front of a bankruptcy judge more often than this "richest" contender for the Republican ticket, and not one of them can be as brazen at stepping over those facts than "Delusional Donald" himself!
Meanwhile, back in the lush green valleys of Vermont, there's a guy named Bernie Sanders who has to be more than tickled by this wild republican free-for-all as his campaign for President gathers momentum inch by inch. Usually it's the Democrats that look like a Honkytonk at closing time on Saturday night and even though he knows the odds are stacked pretty long against his attempt to win this campaign, Bernie also knows he's gonna scare hell out of a lot of people including Hillary Clinton! I'll bet he's chomping at the bit to get it on!
No one goes unnoticed. Not the Supreme Court, the Koch Brothers (or is it the Kook Brothers?), Sheldon Adelson, the folks behind Citizens United, and all the rest!
No one gets to hide as they have in the past, and no one is excluded. Even Hillary is going to have to explain in brutal detail how her money keeps pouring in. Although it could well be 100% honest and legal, Bernie's presence in this campaign is going to cause a lot of things that might have remained in the shadows, out into the open.
And that's the way it should be!

Gastric sleeve surgery involves removing three quarters of the bottom part of the stomach.
This restricts the amount of food a patient can consume and more importantly reduces the amount of hunger hormone ghrelin that the stomach produces. This help patients lose weight by decreasing the amount they can eat and also decreasing their hunger between meals.
Dr Dolan talks about Gastric Banding as a safe and effective option for Weight Loss Surgery.
Patients can expect to eat smaller portions and have a reduced appetite following gastric sleeve surgery leading to a steady loss of weight over time. By following the postoperative recommendations patients can expect to lose approximately 1 kilogram per week, until their body weight reaches a normal range.
Stomach openings and nerves remain intact and unaltered.
Digestion functions normally as the only change is to the size of the stomach.
The section of the stomach responsible for producing the hunger hormone, ghrelin is removed, which means you will be less hungry post-surgery.
The procedure for gastric sleeve surgery is laparoscopic, rather than open, meaning it is less invasive, scarring will be minimal, and recovery will be quicker.
What is involved in Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Make small incisions in the abdomen.
Insert specialised surgical tools, including a camera, through the incisions.
Remove the lower section of the stomach (which makes up 70-80 percent of the entire lining).
Use a specialised stapling device to close the sides of the stomach tube (or sleeve) which remains.
Following surgery patients will need to eat a liquid for two week, then a pureed diet for two weeks. Four weeks after surgery, patients should be able to resume eating normal foods.
Patients also need to a commit to healthy lifestyle as part of the recovery and weight loss process. This involves following the plan set out by the surgeon, dietitian and exercise physiologist.
What are the Costs and Funding Options for Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
There are a number of factors which may influence the final cost of surgery. Dr Dolan will be able to provide a more detailed quote after consultation.
For patients without private insurance the cost is $24,000 to $26,000.
Medicare rebates are available for this procedure and our surgery offers payment plans for patients.
How can surgeons pull out a huge stomach from a small incision?
The stomach can stretch quite a lot after you consume food and studies show that the human stomach can hold 2-4 litres of food when full. When you undergo a gastric sleeve operation, a small tube is inserted into your mouth and into the stomach. This causes all the gas and liquids to be removed to totally decompress the stomach. The removed part of the stomach is around 75-80% and because it's completely decompressed it can be easily pulled out from a very small incision. The small incisions also significantly reduce your pain after surgery.
How long will I be in the hospital after the gastric sleeve operation?
Most of our patients will go home the day after their bariatric surgery after they start on clear liquids straight after surgery. As the incisions Dr Dolan makes are very small, the pain is managed with oral pain medications at home. We expect our patients to walk a few hours after their sleeve gastrectomy and start their clear liquid diet the morning after surgery.
Does laparoscopic surgery decrease surgical risks?
early return to normal activities.


You are on the Brenner motorway A22 and take the exit Bozen Süd (Bolzano south). Immediately at the exit you take the highway Me-Bo in direction Meran and exit at Meran Süd (Merano south). From the exit Meran Süd you ride directly in the direction Meran center and shortly before Meran is a junction to Hafling. From there it's a 10km long ride an a mountainroad. In Hafling is on the right hand side a petrol station, you turn left in the direction of Falzeben and after 500m you turn again left to our "Apartment Hotel Christine"(on the left hand side of hotel Viktoria). We recommend our guests who come from Reschenpass to take also the exit Meran Süd on the highway Mebo and than continue the road like explained above.

        }

        private Jewels contents = new Jewels();
        private string safeCombination = "12345";
        public Jewels Open(string combination)
        {
            if (combination == safeCombination)
                return contents;
            else
                return null;
        }
        public void PickLock(Locksmith lockpicker)
        {
            lockpicker.WriteDownCombination(safeCombination);
        }
    }

    class Owner
    {
        private Jewels returnedContents;
        public void ReceiveContents(Jewels safeContents)
        {
            returnedContents = safeContents;
            Console.WriteLine("Owner:Thank you for returning my jewels! " + safeContents.Sparkle());
        }
    }

    class Locksmith
    {
        public void OpenSafe(Safe safe, Owner owner)
        {
            safe.PickLock(this);
            Jewels safeContents = safe.Open(writtenDownCombination);
            this.ReturnContents(safeContents, owner);
        }

        private string writtenDownCombination = null;
        public void WriteDownCombination(string combination)
        {
            writtenDownCombination = combination;
        }
        public void ReturnContents(Jewels safeContents, Owner owner)
        {
            owner.ReceiveContents(safeContents);
        }
    }

    class JewelThief : Locksmith
    {
        private Jewels stolenJewels = null;
        public void ReturnContents(Jewels safeContents, Owner owner)
        {
            stolenJewels = safeContents;
            Console.WriteLine("JewelThief:I'm stealing the contents! " + stolenJewels.Sparkle());
        }
    }
}

The above code is not overriding the method ReturnContents(). It is hiding. So I was expecting
the statement

this.ReturnContents(safeContents, owner);

present in Locksmith class(inside  OpenSafe() method), will call ReturnContents() method present Jewelthief object if refer from object 'JewelThief'.
But every time it calls baseclass method, ReturnContents. How this behavior is explained?

A: In C#, you have to declare your virtual methods. Maybe you are thinking about JAVA?
Change your method signatures to:
public virtual void ReturnContents(Jewels safeContents, Owner owner)

for the base class, and :
public override void ReturnContents(Jewels safeContents, Owner owner)

for the child class.
Hiding happens when a child class redefines a method that a base class has already defined. In this case, the run-time will invoke the method of the referenced type and not use polymorphism. If this behavior is desired, you should mark the method in the subclass with the "new" keyword. If you want to use polymorphism however, you need to declare the base class's method as virtual and use the "override" keyword for the method in the child class.
You would use hiding in the case where you want to use most of the code in a base class, but you want to have new behavior in your class for a certain method and expose this to all sub-classes of the one you are defining to use hiding. This would keep from altering the behavior of the base class for its internal calls to the method, but would still allow you to offer a new implementation to the users of your new class.

A: If you dont want to Override the method you can hide it by using the new operator
    public new void ReturnContents(Jewels safeContents, Owner owner)
    {
        stolenJewels = safeContents;
        Console.WriteLine("JewelThief:I'm stealing the contents! " + stolenJewels.Sparkle());
    }

Between 2005 and 2016, the consumption of renewable energy in the EU increased by 79 %.
Wood and wood products accounted for almost half (45 %) of the EU's gross inland energy consumption of renewables in 2016.
Wood and wood products accounted for 6 % of the total energy consumed within the EU in 2016.
This article is part of a set of statistical articles that the Eurostat online publication "Agriculture, forestry and fishery statistics" and other publications are based on. It presents statistics on wood and energy in the European Union (EU).
The European Union (EU) accounts for approximately 5 % of the world's forests and, contrary to what is happening in many other parts of the world, the forested area of the EU is slowly increasing. One of the ecological aspects of forests is their role as a renewable energy resource. This article presents statistics on the share of wood in the EU's energy consumption as well as the production and trade in wood pellets and other agglomerates (e.g. briquettes).
Energy supply has always been one of the main uses for wood. Policy interest in energy security and renewable sources of energy, combined with relatively high oil and gas prices, has led in recent years to a reassessment of the possible use of wood as a source of energy. The use of renewables is enshrined in legally binding targets that have been set for each EU Member State concerning the role to be played by renewable energy sources through to 2020. The 2016 edition of the indicator report on the Europe 2020 strategy Smarter, greener, more inclusive? provides information on the progress being made towards the target of achieving a 20 % share of renewable energy in final energy consumption by 2020. This goal is designed to help reduce emissions, improve the security of energy supply and reduce dependence on energy imports.
Between 2005 and 2016, the consumption of renewable energy within the EU-28 increased by 78.6 %. Some renewable energy sources grew exponentially. The consumption of solar energy for example, grew by 1 512 % between 2005 and 2016. Among renewable energy sources, total biomass (i.e. wood and charcoal, biogas and biofuels, and municipal waste) plays an important role, accounting for two thirds (65 %) of the gross inland energy consumption of renewables in the EU-28 in 2016. As part of this biomass total, wood and agglomerated wood products such as pellets and briquettes provided the highest share of energy of biological origin, accounting for almost half (45 %) of the EU-28's gross inland energy consumption of renewables in 2016 - see Figure 1.
In many EU Member States, wood was the most important single source of energy from renewables. As shown in Figure 2, wood and wood products accounted for 6.0 % of the total energy consumed within the EU-28 in 2016. The share of wood and wood products in gross inland energy consumption ranged from over 20 % in Latvia and Finland down to less than 1 % in Cyprus and Malta. Wood was the source for more than three quarters of the renewable energy consumed in Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Latvia, Finland, and Poland. By contrast, the share of wood in the mix of renewables was relatively low in Cyprus and Malta (where the lowest share was reported, 4.5 %); this was also the case in Norway (6.4 %).
While the energy statistics on wood used as a renewable source include estimates for the private consumption in tonnes of oil equivalent (TOE), the physical data on removals of fuel wood from the EU's forests are probably under-reported in the Joint Forest Sector Questionnaire (JFSQ) - (see Wood products - production and trade). In 2016, three EU Member States (Slovakia, Sweden and Portugal) reported that over 90 % of their total roundwood production was industrial roundwood. In Cyprus, Greece (2014), the Netherlands, Italy (2015), Denmark and France over half of the roundwood produced in 2016 was fuel wood. For Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania and Estonia the share of fuelwood varied between 32 % and 47 % of the roundwood production. In many EU Member States, however, no estimates of fuel wood consumption by households are included in the numbers reported in the JFSQ. Separate studies would be needed to produce them, because this wood may be acquired informally, including from forests owned by households. The JFSQ data show strong growth in the production and trade in wood pellets and other agglomerates in recent years (see Table 1 and Figure 3), but no corresponding increase in upstream fuel wood production.
Although potential biomass supplies within most EU Member States are substantial, some countries import significant volumes of fuel wood as they seek to meet their renewable energy targets, raising concerns about the consequences this may have on the global sustainability of forests and resulting levels of carbon emissions. According to the COMEXT database, the EU's overall imports from non-EU countries - including logs, chips and particles, sawdust, wood waste and scrap, wood pellets, wood briquettes and similar forms - grew sharply between 2005 and 2017. The quantities increased by approximately 13 % to 41 million tonnes, while their value increased by 50 % to 12600 million EUR. The increase is clearly visible in the article on Wood products - production and trade (Figure 7). The overall price of these imports went from 234 Euro per tonne to 310 Euro per tonne in the same period.
Wood pellets and other agglomerated energy products are made from dried sawdust, shavings or wood powder, with the raw material being compressed under high pressure. Pellets and agglomerates are currently the most economical way of converting biomass into fuel and are a fast-growing source of energy in Europe. They can be used for electricity production or directly for combustion in residential and commercial heating. The EU-28 was the largest global producer of wood pellets and other agglomerates, its output exceeding an estimated 16.0 million tonnes in 2016; production in the EU-28 rose by 106.3 % overall between 2010 and 2016. Germany produced an estimated 2.2 million tonnes of wood pellets and other agglomerates in 2016, or 13.8 %, of the EU-28's output. Sweden was the second largest producer with 1.66 million tonnes (2015), followed by Latvia (1.55 million tonnes), the Czech Republic (1.5 million tonnes, 2015), Poland and Estonia (1.43 and 1.23 million tonnes) (see Table 1).
The EU-28 is also a net importer of wood pellets and other agglomerates: the level of imports from non-EU countries rose to 8.5 million tonnes in 2016, an overall increase of 231.3 % compared with 2010. The main suppliers of EU imports were the United States and Canada; much less is supplied by Russia and other countries (i.a. Belarus and Ukraine). The United Kingdom was the biggest importer of wood pellets and other agglomerates in 2016 among the EU-28 Member States, with some 6.8 million tonnes (note that this figure relates to total imports, from non-EU countries as well as from Member States). Denmark and Italy (2015) imported respectively around 2.3 million tonnes and 1.7 million tonnes of wood pellets and other agglomerates in 2016. By contrast, Latvia was the only EU Member State to export more than 1.6 million tonnes of wood pellets and other agglomerates in 2016, followed by the Czech Republic with 1.2 million tonnes (2015) and Estonia with 946 thousand tonnes.
Table 2 and Figure 4 show the real price increases of wood chips and particles over 10 years. Two products are available, coniferous and non-coniferous wood chips and particles. Both can be used for the production of wood panels such as particle board and as energy products. While the price index used in national accounts increased by 15.3 % and the harmonised index of consumer prices increased by 19.2 % over the same period, real prices for the coniferous product increased 10.7 % and real prices for the non-coniferous product increased 74.9 %. This shows that there is strong competition particularly for non-coniferous chips and particles, which may have been exacerbated by subsidies for the use of such wood for energy production. In 2015, the average EU-28 import price from third countries was comparable to the price for production sold for the coniferous product (41 EUR/t), while the average import price for the non-coniferous product was much higher at 78 EUR/t, according to Eurostat's external trade database COMEXT. Per cubic metre of bulk volume, non-coniferous wood has a higher calorific value than coniferous wood because it is denser and hence will burn longer, see the CA-RES Quality standard for statistics on wood fuel consumption of households (2012), p. 22.
Eurostat, the Timber Committee of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), Forestry Section of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO) collect and collate statistics on the production and trade of wood through their Joint Forest Sector Questionnaire. Each partner collects data from a different part of the world; Eurostat is responsible for the data collection exercise pertaining to the EU Member States and EFTA countries.
European Forest Accounts (EFA), forming part of an environmental satellite accounts initiative that started in the late 1990s.
The JFSQ provides data for supply balances of timber used for wood products and for energy, and for estimating the carbon contained in harvested wood products.
Renewable energy statistics are based on annual energy statistics defined in Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 . All countries should include estimates of the consumption of energy from wood by households, using any method (survey is one of the options, modelling is also used).
reduce poverty in developing countries by furthering forest law enforcement, fair trade conditions and halting deforestation and illegal logging.
The European Commission presented a new EU forest strategy (COM(2013) 659) for forests and the forest-based sector in 2013, in response to the increasing demands put on forests and to significant societal and political changes that have affected forests over the last 15 years. The strategy is a framework for forest-related measures and is used to coordinate EU initiatives with the forest policies of the Member States. In March 2010, the European Commission adopted a Green paper on forest protection and information in the EU: preparing forests for climate change (COM(2010) 66 final). The paper aimed to stimulate debate concerning the way climate change modifies the terms of forest management and protection, and how EU policy should develop as a consequence.
Forestry, along with farming, remains crucial for land use and the management of natural resources in the EU's rural areas, and as a basis for economic diversification in rural communities. Rural development policy is part of the EU's common agricultural policy (CAP) which has been the main instrument for implementing forestry measures in recent years. In this context, it is estimated that spending on forest-related measures — through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development — amounted to EUR 9–10 billion during the period 2007–13.

Parents on Twitter Share Sky-High Costs of Giving Birth in the US, Calling for Medicare for All
"Saving these bills to show my kids what life was like before Medicare for All, and why we fought so hard to give them a better country."

Parents on social media shared the hospital bills they faced after their children were born, remarking that winning the fight for Medicare for All would put American families' delivery costs more in line with those in other developed countries, and garnering the support Tuesday of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Washington Post columnist Elizabeth Bruenig tweeted a photo of her hospital bill months after giving birth to her second child. With insurance coverage, her bill for a vaginal delivery came to nearly $8,000.
Bruenig wrote that she planned to save her bills "to show my kids what life was like before Medicare for All, and why we fought so hard to give them a better country."

Bruenig's tweet went viral two days after science journalist Dave Mosher tweeted his family's own hospital bill, showing that a standard vaginal delivery with no complications or anesthesia had resulted in total charges of $27,000 for Mosher and his partner and a separate $27,000 bill for the healthy baby.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) wrote on Twitter as the discussion brewed on Tuesday that the cost of starting a family is just one of the economic reasons young people are having fewer children—or forgoing a family altogether.
When people chastise millennials for not having or delaying starting their families after growing up in a recession, here's one big reason why: https://t.co/IL0l7bgli5
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) September 10, 2019
A survey published last year by the New York Times found that young Americans' reasons for having fewer children were largely related to finances.
Sixty-four percent of respondents said child care was too expensive for them to afford, 44 percent said they couldn't afford more or any children for various reasons.
Despite pushing policies which actively make raising a family untenable for many families—including slashing children's health insurance funding and promoting a so-called "paid family leave" plan which would allow new parents time off work only by drawing from their Social Security benefits—Republicans including former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) have frequently called on Americans to have more children.
In response to Bruenig's tweet on Tuesday, many other parents shared their own post-delivery hospital bills, with some showing costs in the tens of thousands for their newborns' hospital stays, Caesarean sections, and medically necessary inductions.

Wanna know something really effed up? If your baby is stillborn, a lot of insurance cos won't cover the $5,000 autopsy. Because it's "optional" that you'd want to know why your baby died.
(Our insurance paid it,thank God, but I've heard horror stories from other grieving moms.)

Two grads celebrate Calder Cup championship
Two former North American Hockey League (NAHL) players - forwards Erik Condra and Jim O'Brien - celebrated an American Hockey League (AHL) Calder Cup championship after the Binghamton Senators defeated the Houston Aeros, 4 games to 2, in the Calder Cup Finals.
Condra played in the NAHL with the Texarkana/St. Louis Bandits during the 2003-04 season. After his junior career, Condra, from Detroit, played four years at the University of Notre Dame from 2005-09 before beginning his pro career with Binghamton, the Ottawa Senators' top affiliate.
Condra, who made his NHL debut with Ottawa in February, tallied five goals for 17 points in 23 Calder Cup Playoffs games.
O'Brien, from Maplewood, Minn., played in the NAHL as a member of the USA Hockey National Team Development Program from 2004-06. He notched three goals and seven points in 23 playoff games.
View the complete list of former NAHL players who played in the AHL this season here.


Photodynamic inactivation potential against bacteria of four chlorin derivatives with phenyl or fluorophenyl substituents was evaluated. The quantum yield values of singlet oxygen formation were in the range of 0.16–0.86. Compounds were characterized by high quantum yields of fluorescence (0.15–0.44) and moderate photostability in DMF solutions. Irradiation of chlorins in DMSO resulted in their phototransformation and then photodecomposition. Photodynamic inactivation of bacteria was performed after the compounds had been loaded into lipid vesicles. The following log reductions of growth values were obtained: Enterococcus faecalis >5.44; Staphylococcus aureus 2.74–5.34; Escherichia coli 0.01–2.14. No activity of meso-substituted chlorins was noticed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fungi Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes.


Anixter and CSD are now distributing Hanwha CCTV products in Australia. "The Samsung CCTV brand both globally and in Australia is well recognised and respected amongst the security industry," said Mark Edwards, general manager products and marketing at CSD. "What is not widely known is the acquisition of Samsung Techwin by Hanwha, a global giant with over USD$50bn turnover. The Anixter group of companies has distribution of Hanwha in many regions around the world and Hanwha has now aligned with them in Australia, which also incorporates CSD." Raj Singh, Regional Vice President-South Pacific for Anixter said Hanwha offers the company an opportunity to enter into the small to medium market with a quality world-renowned brand. "There are many opportunities where we have not had a product and now Hanwha allows us to fill this void," Singh said. "Samsung has always had a great reputation for quality and performance and is still widely used in Australia. We are looking forward to the challenge in promoting the Samsung Hanwha transition and take this professional product portfolio to the market. Our first stocking orders have arrived, and we are ready to take Hanwha to the market. "Understanding the size of Hanwha globally helps us understand why there was a name change in the CCTV systems from Samsung Techwin to Hanwha Wisenet. It is Hanwha's development of their own specialised processors that define a unique set of features that sets them apart from other manufacturers who all use the same common place componentry," he said. According to Edwards, the Samsung product range has been used in many major projects and government installations over the years and it was these successes that enticed Hanwha to acquire the technology, the company and the entire Samsung R&D team. "As part of the acquisition of Samsung Techwin, Hanwha also acquired Samsung General Chemical which is a petrochemical company, Samsung Total an oil refinery and Samsung Thales, which specialises in defence," Edwards said. "It is not known to many, but Hanwha is also the largest manufacturer of solar cells in the world, has a division that builds cities and is Korea's largest insurer."

Lithium manganese oxides are of great interest as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. We describe here a new combustion method to synthesize lithium manganese oxides directly from lithium nitrate, manganese nitrate, ammonium nitrate and glycol. The resultant LiMn2O4 synthesized under the optimum synthesis conditions shows perfect spinel structure and uniform particle size distribution. The combustion products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. And, powders X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the products. Lithium manganese oxides with approximately acerose crystal morphology of 100 - 200 nm length with 10 - 15 nm diameters and a variety of morphologies were found. The oxides produced by this cheap method affirmed the validity of combustion synthesis of fine powders. Lithium manganate with a fine structure different from that of the normal spinel is formed after combustion wave treatment due to the addition of ammonium nitrate. It might also provide a cheap large-scale synthesis method. Reagents combustion with the addition of ammonium nitrate is strongly nonequilibrium processes. Free metal atoms are first released with the decomposition of reagents, and then theses metal and oxygen atoms are rearranged, coagulated and finally crystallized into lithium manganate during the expansion of combustion process.
Key words: Spinel phase LiMn2O4, combustion method, ammonium nitrate, acerose crystal.


XPRIZE, the global leader in incentivized prize competitions, and Google today announced the winners of the 2015 MOONBOTS Challenge, also considered the "Google Lunar XPRIZE for Kids." It is an international competition that inspires the next generation of space explorers and innovators by inviting kids ages 8-17 to design, create, and program their own lunar rover, based on a legend or theory that inspires them about the moon.
Next month, the winning teams will embark upon a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Japan to meet the official teams competing for a $30M Google Lunar XPRIZE, a global competition to land a privately funded robot on the moon.
Team GalacTECHs (Tustin, Calif.) comprised of two girls and two boys ages 8-11, who imagined a future where it's common practice for people to vacation at a resort on the moon.
Linked Lunas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) comprised of twin sisters Hadley and Delaney, age 9. Their mission is based on a historical tale and scientific theory that hits close to home—that the Earth once had "twin" moons that collided and merged into one.
Mecaliks (Cuautitlan Izcalli, Mexico) comprised of three girls ages 9-12, who were inspired by Mayan cultural beliefs that time is measured by lunar phases.
Moonshot (Brooklyn, N.Y. and Naples, Italy) comprised of two boy cousins, ages 10 and 12, who live across the world from each other but share a similar interest in the moon and the way it brings people together—just as it does in their family.
The winning teams will travel to Japan in October to meet up with the Google Lunar XPRIZE teams who are gathering for an annual Team Summit in Tokyo.
The student competition, which began in April, attracted 235 teams from 29 countries who entered phase one by submitting a written or video entry about what inspires them about the moon. Teams are comprised of 2-4 members (ages 8-17) and one team captain at least 18 years old. A panel of judges selected 30 teams to qualify for phase two, each of which was provided one of three platform systems (LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, VEX IQ, MECCANO Meccanoid G15 KS) to build and program a unique simulated robotic mission based on the moon tale they submitted in phase one. In addition, they were asked provide a demonstration to the judges via live webcast and contribute to STEM education by sharing their innovation with children and adults in their community.
Since 2010, MOONBOTS has challenged thousands of young people from around the world. In addition to XPRIZE and Google, competition partners include FIRST® LEGO® League, Cogmation Robotics, VEX Robotics Inc., Spin-Master Ltd., the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation (RECF), GeekDad, GeekMom, Robomatter Incorporated, and Dexter Industries. More information, including the full list of finalists, can be found at moonbots.org.

Does Kim Kardashian Have a Responsibility to Speak Up About Kanye West's Controversial Comments?
Updated on October 5, 2018 @ 10:45AM
Kim Kardashian can handle controversy.
She's been through more than her fair share of scandalous events — from a sex tape to that time she defended a beauty vlogger and his racist comments — and she always bounces back. But what happens when the controversy isn't actually her own?
We're talking, of course, about her husband Kanye West and his recent pro-Trump comments on social media and SNL. His support is nothing new, as he first stepped out in Trump's Make America Great Again cap in 2017, however his specific words on slavery are ruffling feathers, to say the least. First he referred to the institution as a "choice," and over the weekend he tweeted about abolishing the 13th amendment. (In case you failed history class, the 13th amendment is the one that made slavery unconstitutional.)
In what seemed like an attempt clarify his words, he later tweeted, "the 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise meaning it never ended." (The Washington Post's Meagan Flynn as well as some Twitter supporters inferred that Kanye was referring to a specific exception clause in the amendment that allows for slavery "as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted," which has been a point of contention among prisoners.) But regardless of intentions, outrage had already struck like a tsunami — with Chris Evans and Lana del Rey, among other A-listers, leading the charge.
Though she hasn't spoken publicly or on social media about Kanye's rants over the weekend, various outlets report that Kardashian — who supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, and has expressed fairly progressive opinions on matters like prison reform — was "embarrassed" but not surprised by the mess. There's no way to be sure, but "embarrassed" would suggest at least some friction between her own views and her husband's, right?
Say that's true, what should she do now? If she feels differently than Kanye, should she stand up in opposition? Or, as his partner, does she feel an obligation to support him, "for better or worse"?
Kanye West Announced He's Changing His Name, and Twitter Has Some Thoughts
Some have speculated that her silence is an attempt to help the story die faster. Her decision to not publicly refute his statements (but not publicly support them, either) seems to convey that she values her family, and her relationship with her husband, above her personal politics.
Psychotherapist Ami Kaplan also told Bravo that "remaining silent is very often the least burdensome choice emotionally for their partners," so this may also be Kardashian's way of protecting herself, too. Of course, a private discussion is probably the first course of action — and it sounds like the couple has had several of those.
West spells out as much in his song, "Wouldn't Leave," which alludes to private phone calls (which we assume won't air on KUWTK, but never say never). As the title suggests, the song is about the fact that despite Kardashian's anger, she, well, wouldn't leave him. "I said, 'Slavery a choice,' they said, 'How, 'Ye?' ... My wife callin', screamin', say 'We 'bout to lose it all'/Had to calm her down 'cause she couldn't breathe/Told her she could leave me now, but she wouldn't leave."
In the midst of the Kanye drama, Kardashian posted this tweet, reinforcing her affection in a very pointed, very public manner:
Earlier this year, when Kanye reentered the spotlight following a brief hospitalization, Kim took to Twitter to defend not the content of his controversial opinions, but his right to hold them. "Kanye will never run in the race of popular opinion and we know that and that's why I love him and respect him," she wrote.
In a follow-up, she added that she does, in fact, have a different opinion about Trump. "Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about [Trump]. But this is HIS opinion. I believe in people being able to have their own opinions, even if really different from mine."
But the likes of John Legend, as well as Van Lathan — the producer who stood up to Kanye West in the TMZ news room following his "choice" comments — would argue that this is not a matter of having a different opinion on a trivial policy matter. "Your words and actions have consequences," Legend reminded West in a text that Kanye later tweeted. And it's true, not only do his followers wait with bated breath for his next outrage, but the media, too, hangs on his every word. And if he is not articulating his thoughts clearly and concisely (a prime example would be the aforementioned 13th amendment tweet, which may have, in fact, been in support of a position that many liberals would agree with), then it could easily be misconstrued, fueling the burgeoning neo-Nazi hate groups.
From a PR perspective, however, Kardashian's tweet is a smart move — this according to Stacy Jones, CEO of branding agency Hollywood Branded. "By posting this, she created some distance from Kanye and showcased to her fan base that she was supporting her husband, while disagreeing — at least slightly — with his viewpoints," she tells InStyle.
Kanye West Gave Kim Kardashian a Check for $1 Million So She'd Say No to a Fashion Deal
At the end of the day, however, it comes down to a moral choice for Kim. Her image, ergo, her fortune, is pretty much untouchable. "[Kim and Kanye] are both at an interesting point in time, in a very split political climate, where even if half of both of their fan bases disagrees with his opinions, the other half may step forward and increase their purchasing to show their support," notes Jones. "As those more liberally minded turn away, the doors open to having a new floodgates of potential conservative minded purchasers occurs."
Should Kim use her platform in an attempt to refute — or even clarify — her husband's remarks, it wouldn't be the first time she took a political stand. After all, when the Wall Street Journal ran an ad from a group that down played the Armenian Genocide, she sprang to action, comparing Turkish group who paid for the ad to Holocaust deniers — the logic being that the consequences are dangerous given the wide reach and influence of the paper. (Sound familiar?) She's also spoken up against gun violence, and, of course, for prison reform.
Whether she feels as compelled to speak about his latest controversies is another question.
From the looks of her social media comments, the matter doesn't appear to have affected her fans' devotion to their kween. For now, looks like she's dodged another controversy unscathed.

Our family went to a very unusual restaurant this weekend for brunch.
A visit to the 56th Fighter Group will transport you back to an era of Big Band music and World War II. This charming 1917 French Style Allied Headquarters Farmhouse sits on the site where the P47 fighter aircraft was built during WWII. The rustic timbered ceilings and cozy dining rooms boast seven fireplaces and a romantic view of the runway of Republic Airport in the heart of Long Island. You can enjoy an extensive collection of aviation and WWII memorabilia as you dine in the museum-type atmosphere.
Sarge I hope you enjoy the slideshow.
The 56th Fighter Group is located in East Farmingdale, Long Island, New York, at Republic Airport.
Interesting experience … reminds me of a similar restaurant here in Orange County, CA that I ate at decades ago. 'Kewl' slide show!
I've been to one in Chicago once....and that one at Republic also.
that was awesome! I'll bet it was fun! Sounds like my kind of place.
Nice photos. There was a similar one in WP, FL (I think it was the 391st Bomb Group), and there's another one in Cleveland. I think they are all named after different military divisions.
This is very cool Miss Teach, thanks for the invite. We have a place somewhat like this in West Palm Beach, maybe not as much as you have here. It is my kind of place.

2 days ago�� Hewitt, 37, faced calls from the tennis media to respond � and after an underwhelming interview with host broadcaster Channel 9 � finally fronted the press pack, albeit after being eliminated... Just as Roger used the word for the letter �R�, the word �Apple� was used for �A�, �Charly� for �C� and so on, with one word corresponding to each letter of the alphabet. The expression �Roger Wilco� also came into common usage.

4/04/2017�� by Martin Odoni. There are a few periodicals out there that, you would have thought, should know better by now than to make noise about the Hillsborough Disaster.
11/10/2013�� Roger Penrose has a picture of mind and matter that is not just a relation between logical and physical, but involves three worlds: Platonic, mathematical and physical. In his more recent The Road to Reality, Roger Penrose leaves aside the question of computability in physics, and gets down to the core of physics itself.
Last night at a campaign rally in Alabama, President Trump said NFL owners should fire players who take a knee in protest during the national anthem.
A response of ROGER is shorthand for the prowords LOUD AND CLEAR. A response of WEAK BUT READABLE ("Weak Readable" is also used) indicates a weak signal but I can understand. A response of WEAK AND DISTORTED indicates a weak signal and unreadable.


I've fixed a couple users on here and I'm sure they will post to tell of there own experience with me as well as posting some pictures!!
Hope to do business with you soon!
great deal! ill be sure to have you fix my cluster. I have a few questions though, would i be able to text you?
I'd prefer you message me here on Audizine or through IG.
Can you do repairs on clusters with analog clocks?
Do you have the ability to change the mileage on clusters? I've been thinking about swapping clusters but don't want to deal with it being off by 300,000 km's.
Hey I apologize for the late reply. They used the same screen, so that shouldn't be a problem. I've never disassembled a cluster with the analog clock though. I don't see why there would be a problem though. Message me if you have anymore questions!
Your going to be getting my cluster very soon. What type of guarantee do you offer on them?
Something else I would love to see someone produce is a simple guage for turbo shaft speed for efr turbos. Look into them as there is a market for an affordable option. The only thing out now costs $500 plus.
Honestly haven't thought about any guarantees to state in the open.. I guarantee you it will be shipped back to you working lol.. As far as a mileage amount or duration of time it's good for.. I honestly can't say. I've had mine for about a year or so now.. maybe more? No issues.
//I will say if any issues arise shortly after the repair, I'll gladly take a look at it. If I see its result of the initial service, I'll replace it.
So I am guessing you check each cluster before shipping them out?
The cluster will be returned in working order just as I received it and the screen will be replaced unless otherwise stated or discussed.
I wrote up my policy/guarantee on returns and so on in the FAQ section of my website.
